MC exploit problem

[SccS]

hi guys im new to the homebrew side of things so please bear with me.....


i have tried (unsucessfully) to install the mc exploit i have followed every tutorial i could find and all still the same result. nothing....

most of the tutorials i have found are using the BADATA-SYSTEM so where possible i have submited BEDATA-SYSTEM instread as i am in uk.

the results are as follows.

on the tutorials where i could not change to BEDATA-SYSTEM i get nothing..... just a blank black screen.

on the tutorials where i could change to BEDATA-SYSTEM i get a blank red screen.

i have tried everything i can think of bit get same results every time

i have installed via the install cd (worked fine all installed)
i installed using a armax pendrive and uncrunching the files.
i also tried exploit mode on the mod chip.

is there ne thing im missing

its a v9 with and ice v1-12,

Try my tutorial. Of course, it's for USA versions, but I'm sure you know what to change at this point. There's so many tutorials out there, and most of them vary for whatever reason.

hi mike4

thanks for the reply buy yours was the first tutorial i followed. nice work btw

any ideas as to why i only get a blank red screen..

also just to make sure i understand the exploit. all i have to do for it to work is have a boot.elf and title.db files on the mc.

i have tried key launcher and ps2menu and both give the same results..

thank you.

please tell me that you are using SCEA games in the TITLE.DB... you seem to have the install ideas down so let's see what you have so faar...

do you have the History.sys, TITLE.DB, and BOOT.ELF (in caps please).... these are the least files you need... also what program are you trying to use to use as the BOOT app....

I think that most apps are non-specific on region of use so PAL/NTSC should be a prob....

Have you tryed to make your own save file to put on the MC... making sure that the ROOT/ID is BEDATA-SYSTEM... you have the exploit on MC:0 (in slot 1)....

i have added the games i have here to the title.db as i dnt have ne that are on the list..

i have a save file with history.sys TITLE.DB, and BOOT.ELF, i have also tried keylauncher, ps2menu, and a few other elfs. as the boot.elf but all do the same.
i assume that the expliot is working as the game wont boot as long as the mc is in the ps2. to this end i assume that the ps2 is finding the game in the title.db and looking to boot the elf file.

...and your BOOT.ELF is in all caps right?

Are you adding the exploit by way of my tutorial, or are you trying to make a game save transfer device file? If you are trying to make something like a Sharkpot file, send me your title.db file and I'll try to put it together for you. You might be missing something, but it'll be easier for me to just make it.

[SccS]

yes its BOOT.ELF i have tried it both ways via a cd and via memory save. bothtimes i get the same result.

pm me where to send the file and thank for your help.

Well, I like to add the boot.elf & title.db must be in capital letters for the exploit to work, boot.elf must be BOOT.ELF & title.db must be TITLE.DB .
